Francis Ankey biography [3 August 2019]

Folks, looks like some discrepancy in the data? Maybe a typo? Francis could not be born in 1885, if he died in 1880?

The WeRelate page shows he was buried in Stone Creek, but the Tuscarawas County Cemeteries (Volume III) on page 8, shows a group of Ankeys buried at the nearby Jerusalem Reformed Cemetery. Francis is shown as born: 28 Feb 1835, which seems correct. However, the cemetery shows his death as: 7 Oct 1915. An error?

In the group of burials is: Mary Strickmacher. His second wife? It gives her dates as: 12 Aug 1857 to 29 May 1944. The WeRelate page says she was married to Francis in 1860. At age 3 ??? What am I missing here?

The other burials in the group were Grover C. Ankney (1884-1902), Josiah Ankney (1839-1902) and Mary Wittwer Ankney (1836-1907). Who were they? I didn't see their names. They could not have been the names of the two infants who died.
